What I don’t understand:
133 person town.
80% Black, 20% White.
106:27
Blacks have an almost 4:1 majority.
You solve this problem by riding the racist whites out of town on a rail. It would not be difficult.
All it takes is for the majority to decide they’re fed up with it.
I don’t give two shits about enviornmental measures, how is it by dietary measures?
Oh, right:
"avoiding all animal foods may lead to nutritional deficiencies in vitamin B12, omega-3, calcium, zinc, iron, magnesium, and high-quality protein.
These deficiencies may be associated with increased risk for certain types of cancer, stroke, bone fractures, preterm birth, and failure to thrive. Avoiding consumption of animal-sourced food may also be related to higher rates of depression and anxiety. Hair loss, weak bones, muscle wasting, skin rashes, hypothyroidism, and anemia are other issues that have been observed in those strictly following a vegan diet."
What’s a Hayabusa?
Ronald Reagan was President for 8 years.
At the time the doc said they could do a laminectomy, which is removing some of the spine material to prevent the spinal cord from being crushed. But it’s expensive, would require I be off work for 6 weeks, and wouldn’t be super effective.
So I told him “Ok, pretend we did that, because pretending doesn’t cost anything, not super effective, still in pain, now what?”
“Well, we can do cortizone shots into your spine…”
“Gee, that sounds pleasant, but I’ve heard you can only have so many of those and you’re done, you can’t have anymore. I’ve got, maybe, what another 40 years? Let’s not burn all the cortizone shots now… What’s next?”
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ “Vicodin?”
Feb. 2008 my spine tried to kill me. Lower lumbar spinal stenosis.
Did a bunch of stuff, winded up on vicodin. At my peak, just to function as a normal human being, I was taking 10 a day.
2 when I woke up.
2 when I got to work.
2 at lunchtime.
2 when I got home.
2 to be able to sleep.
For a year, it felt like my head was stuffed with cotton.
I got tired of not being able to think so I stopped the vicodin, managing the pain with stretching, breathing exercises, and meditation.
The pain never left, but I could “distance” it, like shouting from the house across the street.
I would not wish stenosis pain on my worst enemy.
FTA:
“No matter what you choose or where you turn, you and everyone else sound like idiots, which adds to the realism of the experience.”
That’s not “realism” to me and was the #1 reason I refunded the game.
